Svitolina Stuns Swiatek
At one time the #3 player in the world, current #76 Svitolina is rediscovering that swagger on the grass courts of the All-England Club. She shocked Swiatek, the world’s #1 player, 7-5, 6-7(7-5), 6-2 in their quarterfinal match that took two hours and 50 minutes to complete.
It’s her seventh career win over the top-ranked player in the world, but Svitolina’s first since 2018. Svitolina has beaten four Grand Slam winners en route to this semifinal, with Venus Williams, Sofia Kenin and Victoria Azarenka joining Swiatek as her victims. It’s only the third time that’s happened in a single tournament during the open era.
Returning to action in April after giving birth to a daughter, Svitolina is the third wildcard entry to reach a Wimbledon semifinal and the first since Germany’s Sabine Lisicki in 2011.
Against Swiatek, Svitolina battled back from 5-3 down to win the first set. She could’ve won in straight sets, but squandered a 4-1 lead in the tiebreak. Undaunted, she rattled off five straight wins in the deciding third set.
Vondrousova Outlasts Pegula

Vondrousova was down 1-4 and love-30 in the third set. Then she won five successive games to take the match. Vondrousova also broke Pegula’s service three times to win the first set.
Vondrousova vs Svitolina Match History

Svitolina vs Vondrousova Head-to-Head
Although Svitolina has won three of five previous meetings with Vondrousova, she hasn’t bettered her Czech opponent since 2019. In their last two matches, Vondrousova won in straight sets. She’s dropped just seven games over the course of those two matches.
Svitolina vs Vondrousova Prediction
While Vondrousova is enjoying a fine run, and has a Grand Slam final appearance on her resume, her history on grass courts is sketchy. She’d won just four main draw matches on the surface coming into this tournament and only once at Wimbledon. Vondrousova hit 35 unforced errors during her win over Pegula, a factor that the wily veteran Svitolina can exploit.
It will be a tight match, but go with the savvy experience of Svitolina to win the day.
- Svitolina to win (+110)
- Svotilina 2-1 (+370)
